Green is serene. This color of nature resurrects in early spring to paint our landscape again, from drab brown to soft fern haze. Slowly, spring deepens into a sublime mixture of emerald, and Shamrock hues. Mid-summer, our lovely trees, and shrubs are bathed in luxurious velvet forest green. Later, summer paints with a deeper Viridian. Our forests, mountains, valleys, hills, lawns, trees, and plants...all saturated in greens. Tranquil, flowing greens, soothe the soul, as silky grasses, like waves of the sea, ripple gently in the summer breeze. Lush tree tops kiss the blue sky. Green embraces every lake. Green paints our lovely landscape of nature. Green is serene... March 1, 2016
